In my last post, I talked about the 42nd Generation: a generation who acknowledges their identity and accepts their inheritance as children of God. But then what? Our goal at G42 is to inspire and challenge members of the 42nd Generation–no matter where they are in life, status, age, class, or the world–to live like […]
The 42nd Generation (part 1)
In the past, I’ve mentioned our non-profit, “G42” and you may have noticed “The 42nd Generation” as one of my blog categories… but I’m not sure if I’ve described what I mean by this phrase.

6 Steps to Building A Team (Like Jesus Did)
